(BB here) Things will turn around in this country when the Boomers finally die off. My generation - those who still are living and implementing the 1960s Utopian Vision - has wreaked a lot of havoc in its short decades. Shacking up, the pill, abortion, broken families; Social Justice & Liberation Theology in the Catholic Church; feminism, gay marriage, metrosexuality - these are just a few of the anti-traditions this generation has embraced.
The Greatest Generation it is not, but rather the most self-indulgent and narcissistic in a good long time.
Remember that the boomer generation now is in “retirement” mode. Its power is getting less.
um... actually the greatest generation refers to the generation before the baby boomers, the WW2 generation.
Almost everything you mentioned was brought on by people who are either dead or in their late 70’s or 80’s, not by definition boomers. Have Boomers made mistakes, yes, as have all generations. But we have not been the bane of human existence that people like you would have everyone think. Probably the worst things we did or failed to do was not having or taking the time to watch more closely how our children were being indoctrinated by liberal schools, and not fighting harder to fight the deterioration of morality in the country. Too many of us were cowed by the liberal establishment into thinking we couldn’t demand society maintain the same standards we grew up with. We allowed ourselves to be bullied by multiculturism and diversity advocates into accepting the abnormal as normal.
